Prisons listed as museum are former prisons now open for public inspection and tours. == [[Australian Capital Territory]] == [[As of 2005]], The Australian Capital Territory does not currently have any prisons suitable for housing sentenced prisoners. Currently, sentenced prisoners in the Australian Capital Territory serve their sentences in New South Wales prisons pending the construction of a prison in the ACT due in [[2008]]. The new prison will be found off the Monaro Highway at Hume and will be called the [[Alexander Maconochie]] Centre. It is currently under construction, and should be open in 2008. {| class="wikitable" ! bgcolor="#efefef" colspan=8 | Prisons in the Australian Capital Territory |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! Prison !

Several prisons are privatised and managed by groups such as [[GSL Custodial Services]] (formerly Group 4). Victorian Prisons are mostly located in Regional Victoria. The Prison system is relatively modern with the closure of the last of the "old" jails in 2005. Bendigo and Won Wron were the last to be closed. Beechworth Prison was closed in 2004 but replaced with Beechworth Correctional Centre in 2005. {| class="wikitable" ! bgcolor="#efefef" colspan=8 | Prisons in Victoria |- bgcolor="#efefef" ! Prison !
